Hau'oli Kikaha fits best in an aggressive 3-4 front that prioritizes pass rush and disruption from its outside linebackers to collapse the pocket and create pressure.
As a rookie, he projects as a rotational pass rusher who can develop into a full-time starter with a prominent role in sub-packages.
He would be a poor fit in a base 4-3 scheme that asks its defensive ends to consistently hold the point of attack against the run.
Kikaha's scheme fit is highly dependent on his ability to play in space and against the pass, as his size and athletic profile limit his versatility in other systems.
Selected #44 overall in Round 2 of the 2015 NFL Draft by New Orleans Saints out of Washington.
